In this behind-the-scenes video of Australian male model Andrej Pejic shooting for Fashion Magazine, we spot a 22″ Mola Demi being used. It’s a white Demi with stacked PAD and Opal diffusers with the Vented Light Weight Diffuser, lit with the Profoto ProDaylight 800w HMI continuous light. The combination of continuous light and Mola Softlights means you can shoot seamlessly between stills and video without compromising on your light quality.
We spot a white 33″ Mola Euro being used for this SELF magazine cover shoot with country singer Carrie Underwood, photographed by Stewart Shining. Like the previous SELF shoot we blogged earlier, a white 33″ Mola Euro has been used with the OPAL glass and no front diffuser.

We spot a 33″ Mola Euro used by New York fashion and advertising photographer, David Tessieri as he creates some gorgeous images with supermodel Irina Shayk. This ‘Baila, Luili Baila’ Spring / Summer 2011 collection was shot for Luli Fama Swimwear, on location at the Viceroy Miami Hotel, Miami.
We spot a mola 22″ demi used by super NY photographer Brad Trent as he lights up Terry Lundgren, CEO of Macy’s. What we love to see here is Brad’s ingenuity in finding and setting up Mr Lundgren in an unsual backdrop, a pleasant escape from the typical commercial stand-in-amongst-your-business shots that a lot of execs have.
Here we see Brad use a big fill light to illuminate the scene and a gridded mola demi to provide the key light on the subject. In this way he puts the shadows where he wants them (i.e. on the subjects face) and has even soft illumination for his background and rest of the subject. Keeping the lights at a similar angle and distance helps eliminate competing shadows.
You can read about his thought processes from this shoot on his own blog post here and visit www.bradtrent.com.
Today we spot a Mola 43″ Mantti and Mola 28″ Setti being used by the fabulous John van der Schilden for Elle Canada Magazine. In this July 2011 issue we see Tanzanian born model, Herieth Paul, grace the cover at only 17 years old. John takes to the rooftop with the big Mantti and smaller setti to create these gorgeous images. Location lighting and Mola equipment was provided by S1 Studios in Toronto.

We spot a 33″ white Mola Euro used by incredible photographer, Nelson Simoneau as he photographs model Coco Rocha for the May 2011 issue of ELLE Québec.

We know Yu Tsai does sexy things with Mola’s. This time we spot Yu using 2 Mola 33″ Euros to light up singer Lenny Kravitz in a VS magazine backstage shoot.
In this behind-the-scenes video we spot the Mola 43.5″ Mantti being used for the H&M Spring / Summer campaign from last year. The sets were simple yet highly effective and a great example of lighting up 2 models, Shalom Harlow and Eva Herzigova, with a Mantti.
